Meer Abru Episode 7 & 8 Story Review – A Grave Misunderstanding
Opening Thoughts – Intense & Interesting:
Ohkay so, these two episode of Meer Abru were not only interesting but were intense & I absolutely loved watching them. This drama has been so well-directed & all the performances are just so effortlessly convincing that make Meer Abru worth your time. All the things that happened were the defining moments of the story & now the course of it is going to change.
Short Lived Love Story:
I loved the short-lived love story of Meer Abru. Meer finally poured his heart out to Abru & told her what he felt for her. Abru happens to be the first girl ever to have made Meer feel that way & that is why he realized that the thought of her made him happy, her presence mattered to him & he loved her. Abru was shocked to hear everything that Meer said but then even she was in love. Abru never really paid heed to the feelings she had developed for Meer until he confessed his love to her & she also realized that she was in love. Meer showed Abru his vulnerable side & it did affect Abru emotionally, she knew that she had to mend his broken heart. Abru felt so many emotions for Meer, from anger to hatred to sympathy to compassion, then affection & also love, it was like Meer could not escape Abru’s mind & that is why despite not having a smooth relation with him ever, she couldn’t help falling in love with him. Meer gifted Abru the chain & told her to wear it if she wanted to show her acceptance. I loved that entire equation & the time both Abru & Meer shared with each other, they both were different to each other but were now in love & absolutely happy but then, the circumstances took that away from them.
In the meantime, Waleed continued to trap Haya & Sana, especially Haya because he knows she is someone who does not even question him unlike Sana. When it comes to Sana, Waleed has to prove himself to her over & over again but Haya trusts him blindly. Waleed ended up spotting that chain & took it back to create more misunderstandings between Abru & Meer.
Zebi only agreed to Saim & Abru’s marriage because she thinks she will use Abru as a weapon to break this entire home. Zebi didn’t even tell her plan to Waleed, who actually happens to be her ally in most of the things. Waleed doesn’t like Abru & Zebi knows that too but she knows that her sons absolutely love & respect Meer’s family, so she kept her secret to herself as she knows she will have to do everything on her own if she wants to achieve what she has been dreaming of; a separate home & business for her family unit. I am not a fan of Zebi’s character, I am sure no one is but what makes it far more difficult to tolerate her is Jia Ali’s tacky styling, uf! Anyways, that scene was cute where both Zebi & Jamal teased Saim & then let him know that they were totally on his side & were giving him & Abru their blessings for the marriage. Such scenes add a different dimension to the story & they actually tie the story together.
Abru said yes to Meer’s proposal but sadly, Meer didn’t think things through before misunderstanding Abru yet again. I actually feel for Meer because he is someone who tries to break free from what he has seen while growing up but subconsciously he has harboured all those complexes, insecurities & fears in his mind that he can not look past them. Meer decided to question Abru but before even doing that he had set the accusatory tone which riled Abru up. Meer was not actually questioning Abru, he was actually passing a verdict that whatever he thinks of her is what the reality is. It was unfortunate that Meer did not allow Abru the chance to explain herself. To be honest, I was actually rooting for Meer & Abru but seeing the way Meer easily misunderstands & mistrusts Abru, I think she is better suited with Saim who will not put her through this mental torture where she’d have to explain or prove herself over & over again. Meer is nice, like he is eccentric, he is different, but he most certainly has some serious trust issues. Meer hasn’t realized that he does all of what he hates his father for. Even though Meer does not want to see his mother being treated that way but chances are highly likely that he will treat his wife exactly the way Ghazanfar has treated Saira all his life.
Meer decided to fix things, but being the difficult person that he is, he once again demanded an explanation, a clarification to do something for Abru. Meer can not trust Abru no matter what she will say or do, that is why he didn’t even think of doing the heavy lifting without hearing the truth from her. All the things that Saim said to both Meer & Abru showed the kind of person he is. That entire confrontation was so intense & brilliantly executed where Saim decided to back out but he showed Abru what he thought of her. Saim made it very easy for Abru to make a decision because there was Meer, the love of Abru’s life who was not ready to trust her & then there was Saim, who she saw as her friend but he was not only trusting her but trying to make Meer understand too that she could never do anything wrong. Meer is a victim of his own words, his anger, his emotions. At one moment I felt he will give Abru the assurance she needs & he will say that he trusts Abru but no, he wanted Abru to convince him & prove her innocence.
Closing Thoughts – Loving It So Far:
These episodes of Meer Abru were brilliantly directed & the editing was spot on too. There are no loose ends so far & all the tracks are progressing at a same decent pace. I love Abru’s character & the preview showed how she will not settle for mistreatment in the name of love. Even though Saim will always be wary of Meer’s feelings for Abru, but still it is Abru who gets to make the decision which is perfect. Sanam Chaudhry’s styling in this drama is perfect, she always gives her characters a different treatment but I will say she has never looked this good before. Her hair, makeup & the wardrobe is perfect in Meer Abru. Noor Hassan & Zain Baig look graceful & Saad Qureshi has never looked this good before too, even though he can still rely on a little less makeup but he is doing complete justice to the character of Waleed. I am loving Meer Abru so far & can’t wait to see the remaining episodes. This drama is so my cup of tea, therefore I am enjoying it like anything. Please share your thoughts about these episodes of Meer Abru.

Aangan Episode 19 Story Review – The Wedding
This was one of the slowest episodes of Aangan which covered Chammi wedding and how Alia managed to keep her from killing herself. Apart from Sajal Aly and Mawra Hocane’s performances, there was nothing exciting about this episode. This was also yet another episode which lacked the flow needed to make it more engrossing. The songs and the dance seemed completely out of place as well and reminded me of Bin Roye. Even after all these weeks I have failed to connect to most of the characters on a deeper emotional level. I do feel however that Chammi and Alia’s character had potential if the story was more focused on them. Chammi’s deprivations and her character overall could have been explored more. Sajal Aly has a screen presence for sure and she knows how to keep her audience hooked. Apart from the fact that Alia fell in love with someone like Jamil even after vowing not to love anyone ever, this character has a lot going for it. The supporting characters in this drama have to be the weakest link. Their stories and their dialogues are extremely repetitive and annoying. You have to filter out the good bits from every episode because there are so many scenes in every episode which either add nothing to the story or are just a repetition of what has already been shown.
Chammi Gets Married
Chammi finally found out about her marriage and her reaction was obviously that of denial and shock. Alia stayed true to the promise she made to herself and was by Chammi’s side all the time. Sajal Aly did exceptionally well portraying Chammi’s state of mind. She is the only character I feel for. Alia’s mother’s fixation with her brother is just as annoying as Kareeman Bua’s fixation with Malik Muzaffar. The ladies were clueless, cold and practical as usual. Israr was the only man who attended this wedding and actually contributed to it in some way. This wedding was just as sad an affair as most of the events in this aangan.
Chammi’s mother-in-law’s conversation with Najma showed that these people had money and they too were just as ‘jahil’ as Chammi. Wondering if Chammi will finally be around people who accept and value her for who she is. Jamil was clearly on Chammi’s mind right till the end and the viewers did not even get to see Chammi’s dulha.
Once again Azhar conveniently missed an important event because he was too busy with politics. I am not sure why the viewers should even care about Azhar and his worries since he is such a cold hearted man. It was good to see that even after everything that has happened over the years, Alia has not turned bitter.
Overall Impression
There isn’t a single balanced male character in this drama, the screenplay is sloppy to say the least and there have been hardly any episodes which have been well put together. The fact that there has been absolutely no character development in all these weeks is another reason why watching Aangan can be a tedious task. I am glad Chammi did not kill herself but the preview of the next episode suggested that someone is going to die. Jamil will be back and it seems Alia and Jamil’s love story hasn’t ended yet.
Do share your thoughts about tonight’s episode of Aangan

Do Bol Episode 21 & 22 Story Review – Slow But Interesting
Opening Thoughts – Slow But Interesting:
Ohkay so, this episode of Do Bol was pretty tragic & to some extent a bit slow too but I found it interesting how external factors were turning the entire situation in Gaiti & Badar’s favor.
The Closure:
Iqbal finally came to realize that he has spent a good chunk of his life harbouring negative feelings in his heart, that is why he now took a decision that he will let go of any such feelings as he himself was tired of holding so much of anger in his heart. Spending time away from Gaiti that too guilt-stricken has helped Iqbal a great deal in shifting his focus from the things that are unnecessary to those things or people that actually deserve his attention; first & foremost his wife Nafeesa & his daughter Gaiti. It was interesting to see how Iqbal didn’t pay heed to whatever Firdous said. Everything that Zafar has done to Iqbal & the family business has also been an eye-opening experience for him & that has also compelled him to put his sister & nephew at the backseat because he has allowed them to exploit him for so so long.
Nafeesa really has been an ideal partner who has always pushed Iqbal to do something that he would never do. It is beautiful how even without having much support or encouragement from her husband, Nafeesa still has never allowed any complexes or insecurities creep into her mind. In fact, Nafeesa has not let anything stop her from speaking her mind & being the voice of reason. Iqbal never gave Nafeesa the edge to put her opinion forward but she didn’t stop trying & now it was working. It was nice to see Iqbal acknowledging all that Nafeesa has done for him & she was the one who pushed him to see Jahan Ara & put a proper closure to unspoken feelings.
Iqbal & Jahan Ara’s meeting was well-executed, it was well-worded too. Iqbal told Jahan Ara that he was unable to forget her & even she admitted that he was her first love. Jahan Ara did lead a peaceful life with Nafees but seeing how possessive to the point of being obsessed with Jahan Ara he was, it was very understandable that she felt suffocated & emotionally drained. Nafees was way too dependent on Jahan Ara & she started making it obvious that even at times she felt tired of tackling him because he didn’t give her the edge to just be herself for a while. Nafees wanted Jahan Ara to act as his wife all the time & she had to because she realized that this was the kind of love Nafees was capable of. Jahan Ara did let Gaiti know that if Iqbal had trusted her, she would have never left him. I am glad that both Iqbal & Jahan Ara met for the last time & also gave words to the feelings they had buried in their hearts for all their lives. Jahan Ara did die in peace & I am glad Nafees wasn’t there when she & Iqbal met.
Fareeha played a huge part in convincing Badar to go & bring Gaiti back. Even though Fareeha was doing it all due to her ulterior motive but still, she ended up helping in bringing Gaiti & Badar back together. Fareeha just does not want Sameer to get married to Gaiti, that is why she is doing everything to make sure it doesn’t happen. To be honest, Sameer’s late lateef-pan made me chuckle, like c’mon man, just accept that your timing is off big-time & that you are always going to be majboor one way or the other, therefore you should leave Gaiti for Badar & get married to the girl your mom chose for you. I fail to understand why & how does Sameer always allow circumstances to beat him at his game? Majboor or Bechara much?
Anyways, Badar rescued Gaiti from Nafees & then Gaiti made a conscious decision of not going to her father’s place but Badar’s. Gaiti has actually accepted that she is married to Badar & that his home is her home too. Gaiti found out about her FIL’s death & she was ashamed to not have known about it. It was nice to see Qudsia & Gaiti consoling each other, it is like after losing their loved one’s, they both have found that one common thing which will connect them emotionally. Gaiti apologized & so did Qudsia, which actually means they both are going to start afresh. Someone please find Rania a groom, her desperation is out of control!
Closing Thoughts – Emotional Layers:
Overall, this episode of Do Bol was slow but was done beautifully. I love how the writer has added all those layers of emotions in all of these characters. Nafees’s obsession, Jahan Ara’s frustration, Iqbal’s regrets, Qudsia & Gaiti’s realization – all of this was covered subtly but still with so much of clarity. Do Bol shows how simple dramas can move you emotionally & how you don’t need too much of dramatic situations to give some dimension to the story. Acting & direction was spot on as usual. Please share your thoughts about this episode of Do Bol.

Cheers,

Do Bol Episode 19 & 20 Story Review – Important Developments
Opening Thoughts – Phenomenal:
Ohkay so, this episode of Do Bol was phenomenal & had some very important developments to its credit. It not only took the story forward but showcased the emotional shift in almost all the characters. I liked watching how all the characters had one thing or the other going on in their lives & they all were faced with their fair shares of struggles.
Emotional Shift In All The Characters:
Gaiti made me feel for her a lot. She has been someone who never got validation of her entire family except her step-mother. Gaiti grew up in a setting where she always felt unwanted, like a total stranger that is why she relied on outsiders for emotional support thinking they will fulfil her desire of validation & make her feel valued. Gaiti found Badar but she actually thought that after escaping, she will finally be able to feel the freedom she always dreamt of but as the time goes by, every single day she is reminded that she is once again an unwanted presence in someone else’s house. When Gaiti cried after hearing all the things that Nafees had to say about her, I felt for her a lot because Gaiti was back to square one, faced with something she was running away from, but then on the brighter side, though things have been hurtful for her in her past, she was now understanding the importance of her family & all the things she actually took for granted.
Gaiti always believed that her life would be so much better with her biological mother, even though Iqbal never gave her a reason to feel content with what she had but Gaiti always thought the grass was greener on the other side. Nafees’s attitude & Jahan Ara’s struggle to maintain a healthy balance between her husband & daughter was making Gaiti realize that she was better off without her mother because she was not going to be there for her free from her own responsibilities. Gaiti started to feel the appreciation for the fact that even though she didn’t have emotional fulfilment in Iqbal’s home but she was always safe & secure there & that was the place that she could actually call her home. I think this time away from everyone, Gaiti kind of got a break to analyse & realize what’s important & what direction she wants to steer her life to. This time away from Badar also made Gaiti realize that he was the only one who made her feel valued, important & loved like she never had experienced before.
Jahan Ara actually wanted to bring all the happiness to Gaiti that is why without the sense of right & wrong, she not only sent divorce papers to Badar on behalf of Gaiti without her consent but she also invited Sameer to force him back into Gaiti’s life. Jahan Ara is guilt-stricken therefore she thinks finding Gaiti her match that she also once loved was the best way to compensate & find happiness for her. Jahan Ara has not being able to read between the lines, she has not being able to hear the unspoken words of Gaiti that her refusal to get divorce from Badar is actually her way of admitting that she might have fallen in love with him. Jahan Ara feels for Gaiti, that’s given, she also loves her daughter a lot but she wants to do everything for Gaiti based on her own perspective & the things she deems right. For Jahan Ara, Badar is not her match & is someone who has been imposed on her, therefore she is trying to undo that by forcing Sameer into her life!
Iqbal finally got the hang of the situation & he not only appointed Jamil Sahab back, he gave him the authority to hire whoever he thought was fit for the job. Zafar has carelessly stolen a hefty amount & the moment he found out that Iqbal got a heed of the situation, he ran away. Iqbal has now realized that he can not trust anyone just so easily in the matters concerning his business & that is why he was also convinced that Badar was trustworthy because he took care of his business with sincerity. For the first time Iqbal felt relieved & also acknowledged that Gaiti’s decision of not marrying Zafar was right. The time that Iqbal has spent away from Gaiti has also changed his perspective about a lot of things plus he has also started to feel that he made some wrong choices due to his ego & may be that’s why he is eager to make amends.
Sameer found out how Fareeha played a huge part in creating misunderstandings between him & Gaiti. Sameer not only confronted Fareeha but he also reached to the final conclusion that he was not going to let go of this second chance that he has got. Sameer is keen to fix everything & accept Gaiti back in his life but he will soon learn that he means nothing to Gaiti now.
Closing Thoughts – Convincing & Interesting:
Overall, this episode of Do Bol was convincing & very interesting. Even though the overall execution of this drama & storytelling has remained simple but it still makes such an interesting & engaging watch. I am actually gutted that Do Bol is ending next week, even though it is good that we’ll get to watch the episodes back to back but it’s like by ending it quickly they are taking away the charm of this drama like waiting for it for days to watch it every week & then anticipating what is yet to come. Anyways, the acting & direction remains flawless. Hira Mani is the star of this drama. Affan Waheed didn’t have much scenes but the one in which he gets to meet Iqbal & talk about his father was very heart-touching, especially the sadness in his voice added that touch of realness to that entire scenario that a son was mourning the loss of his father. The actress playing the role of Fareeha is a styling & fashion disaster, the first thing she needs to do is grow the fringe/bangs out, everything about her is just so off. The styling of the rest of the cast is on-point, but I wish they hadn’t given Nafees uncle that fitted silk/satin sleeping suit, it was another eyesore which is hard to unsee now. Please share your thoughts about this episode of Do Bol.
Keep Supporting,
Cheers,

Inkaar Episode 7 Story Review – Secrets Revealed
Tonight’s episode of Inkaar covered the entire backstory. It also revealed true feelings of Shayan for Hajra which always seemed genuine. Some of the scenes were emotional and Rehan Chaudhry’s presence was terrifying. He is clearly someone who has absolutely no moral compass. The performances tonight were on point and so far the pace of this drama has been steady. Every episode has some major development to its credit. The characters are easy to connect to and the scenes covering Hajra’s family life are always more appealing than the ones which cover Shayan and Rehan’s family life.
The Characters
Shayan and Rehan are completely opposite to each other in every way possible. While Shayan never had the guts to share his true feelings with Hajra, Rehan went ahead and made a complete fool of her with utmost confidence. The fact that these two became friends at a really young age explains why they stayed friends for so long. This episode opened with an extremely emotional scene, this scene proved that Shayan was never playing games and his feelings for Hajra were genuine. Once again Hajra’s father played an important role in helping Hajra make a decision which was quite difficult. Her father’s faith in Shayan and most of all the fact that he felt that this man could love his daughter more than him, made Hajra take a step which she wouldn’t have taken otherwise.
Just when Shayan wanted to run away from everything, Hajra gave him a chance to tell his side of the story. Hajra and her father’s relationship is one of a kind, definitely something we don’t get to see in our dramas all the time. There is respect and friendship there which is rare. While telling Hajra everything Shayan also mentioned that Chaudhry lived with his stepmother and missed his mother a lot. This sense of abandonment perhaps made him the person he is today.
Even though Shayan gave him nothing but love and support but he did not think twice before going ahead with a plan that could have ruined their friendship forever. The way Rehan completely disregarded his relationship with his childhood friend simply to trap an innocent girl went to show how shallow and negative he was. This also showed Shayan’s weak personality and how he was unable to ensure that Rehan stayed out of his life for good after everything that happened. Rehan rushed to the place of meeting immediately so that he could tell his version but apart from laughing and calling Shayan a liar, he didn’t have much to add to the story. Sami Khan has underplayed this character beautifully. Shayan does not have a strong personality and he also does not think highly of himself which was the main reason why he fell for the lie Rehan told him.
Overall Impression
The meeting place in this episode too seemed like a mazar which was rather odd since all of them were sitting there for the longest time. Also, if Shayan was with Rehan every now and then how come Hajra and her mystery friend couldn’t recall who he was? Hajra’s conversations with her mystery friend were an important part of the first few episodes but now all of a sudden that friend is completely missing. I am waiting to hear what Rehan Chaudhry has to say in his defense since in this episode he gave Shayan plenty of time to tell his story. Yumna Zaidi has acted brilliantly throughout, her expressions have especially been phenomenal. Sami Khan’s character it seems will be a lot like many of the characters he has played in the past but he plays these roles so well. The preview of the next episode suggested that Hajra will forgive Shayan and tell Rehan Chaudhry off once again. I feel for Shayan already since he is no match for Rehan and Rehan will most certainly strike back! The overall feel of this play is different, I still feel the actually story hasn’t started and that this play might have something bigger to offer.
Do share your thoughts about this episode of Inkaar.

Cheekh Episode 16 – Story Review
Opening Thoughts – Some Developments:
Ohkay so, this episode of Cheekh did have some important developments to its credit but it also had some repetitive scenarios in it too. I think its about time that they begin the court case in full throttle & stop showing us whatever is happening in their households as we have seen that already. I think it’s about time that they start airing double episodes of Cheekh!
Yawar Is Torn Between Wajih & Shayan:
So, for the first time the court hearing took place of this case & the lawyer on Mannat’s side asked for some time to find out more evidences to prove Wajih guilty. On the other hand, Wajih’s lawyer started his dirty antics to weaken Mannat. On his suggestion, Wajih started off with the character assassination of Mannat & she wasn’t shocked because she knew this was expected of him!
Shayan is not only supporting Mannat but he is going out of his way to make her feel comforted & secure because he understands that the battle she is fighting is going to drain every ounce of energy, peace & calm from her body. Just when both Mannat & Shayan were celebrating each other, they got to know about the level Wajih stooped to in order to prove himself innocent.
The only interesting development in this episode was Shehwar’s evolvement from a naive submissive wife to someone who decided to question whatever she was coming across. The actual reason that forced Shehwar to make that shift was the lie that Yawar had been telling her & she now found out about. Shehwar was forced to think that if Yawar could go to that extreme & make her suffer for something she was not even responsible for, then he could not have any issue saving his brother even if he was the culprit. For the first time, Shehwar decided that she won’t allow Yawar to boss around her. For the first time she let him know that she won’t settle for his mistreatment henceforth, which I believe was a very nice shift in her character & probably the first step of courage that she’d later need to testify against Wajih & Yawar’s will.
This episode also showcased the emotional struggle of Yawar aptly. Yawar wants to support Wajih but he feels bad for letting Shayan, his brother down too. Yawar also feels sick seeing Wajih showing no remorse & the way he continues to make one mistake after another, because this way he finds it hard to support Wajih as deep down even he knows that he is supporting a culprit & a murderer. Haya continues to blindly support Wajih, that is why she believes all the claims made against Wajih are false. Haya has not even considered for a second that Wajih could have done what Mannat says, she can not even think of that.
Closing Thoughts – Show Us The Court Case Please:
Overall this episode of Cheekh was good but the pace of this drama seems quite slow. This episode only had one scene of the court whereas the rest of it was all about the way their household & personal dynamics were being affected, which I feel is what we have been seeing since the beginning, therefore they really need to change the story & proceed with the case. Please share your thoughts about this episode of Cheekh.
Keep Supporting,
Cheers,
Zahra Mirza.
